Episode 2

Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

Series following four female pest controllers as they do battle with Britain's most common household pests. Infestations of bed bugs, rats, clothes moths and more are making life a misery in homes across the UK. The ladykillers use specialist cameras to provide a scary close-up of the pests for the homeowners and to help find the best way to get rid of these unwelcome intruders.

In a year when clothes moths infestations are escalating, Imogen is called to one of the worst cases she's seen. Using her scientific background, she discovers what's making them so hard to kill off and finds the best practical tips and solutions for dealing with a problem that's found in one in every ten homes.

Plain-speaking Angela and her dog Alfie are on the case when a pack of rats moves into a terrified famer's barn in Nottinghamshire, and Janet eventually gets the better of some very determined pigeons who have made home in a historic haunted castle on a Northumberland caravan park.

And in the home counties, Deborah is called in by the local vicar when a colony of honeybees moves into the church steeple. Show less
